Just last week, police arrested two suspects after citizens chose to get involved by calling police and giving a detailed description and account of the crime as it occurred. Now two more suspects have been apprehended and charged with a break-in after the suspects broke into an occupied home and attempted to flee.

Police arrested Michael Pipkin, 19, of 1100 Aaran Circle and Richard Johnson, 24, listed as homeless for Breaking and Entering and Larceny as well as Possession of Stolen Goods after they broke into a home on McDougal Drive .

After Pipkin was apprehended, Johnson attempted to flee when several citizens from the Lafayette Mobile Home Park came forward and provided information about Johnson’swhereabouts. Based on the information provided, officers were able to locate Johnson and take him into custody. Pipkin remains in jail on a $5000 bond and Johnson has a $30,000 bond.

Police, already excited about the number of extra tips that have been received from the public through use of its Nixle.com citizen alert system and its FPDFacebook.com page, are encouraged by the current trend of citizeninvolvement. Thank you and keep up the great work!RICHARD ALAN JOHNSON
